Joe sat in the living room, giving Fiona and Cordelia time to talk.
  After a while he went upstairs to go to bed.  Joe figured Cordelia must be in bed by now.  But we he saw instead was beautiful.

Cordelia laid on her side, Fiona's arm draped over her daughter.
Joe smiled and slowly shut the door, leaving them to sleep peacefully.

***

Two days later.

Fiona is still depressed over the miscarriage, but is trying her best to get up and stay active during the day.

"Mom, can I please go to Larissa's tonight?" Cordelia asks.

"Sure!"

"Really?  Thanks!"

Fiona smiles and continues putting her groceries away.

"What are you planning on making?  This is a lot of food!"

"Well I saw a video on this really yummy looking pasta I thought I'd try.
  And I'm going to try to show Joe the few things I know."

Cordelia makes a face.

"Which isn't much, I know!  But hey, it's more than the dead in there guy knows!"

Cordelia laughs and nods her head. "I guess so!"

Just then the phone rang.
"Will you please get that for me, Delia?"

"Sure."

Just a few seconds after Cordelia picks up the phone, she walks into the kitchen, and hands it to her mother. "It's for you."

"Oh.  Thanks.
.. Hello?"

"Fiona Goode?"

"Yes.  Who is this?"

"This is Sharon from Dr. Hanson's office."

"Oh.."

"Your bloodwork came back, and your baby boy's test results are perfect!
  You have one healthy little boy, Ms. Goode!"

"A-uh.. Excuse me.. What?
.. A boy?"

"Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry!  I spoiled the gender!  I feel absolutely terrible!"

"I-I.." Fiona then began breathing heavily.  She felt as though she were going to pass out.

"Mom?  Are you okay?  Joe!" Cordelia shouted out for Danny.

"Yeah?" Joe walks in.
"Fifi?  What's wrong?"

Fiona dropped the phone and grabbed her hair in her hands.

"Mom, what happened?" Cordelia asks as Fiona begins sobbing.

"Baby, breathe.  Look at me." Joe takes a hold of her arms as Fiona's legs go weak.

"Who was that?"

"That was.... That was my doctors office.."

"What did they call about?"

"My test results came back.. she didn't know.
  She said the baby was healthy.. she said he was perfect."

"Oh baby, I'm so sorry.
  Wait.. what?"

"It was a baby boy, Joe..
  A beautiful baby boy." Fiona looks up to Joe, completely broken.

Joe was at a loss for words.  He just wrapped his arms around Fiona as she cried.
Cordelia watched, fighting back her tears.  A baby brother.  She was going to have a baby brother.  Cordelia felt heartbroken, and wanted more than anything to have the chance to meet him.

Just then Cordelia's cell phone rang.

Cordelia looked down and saw her Auntie Myrtle's picture pop up.
"Hello?" She answers quietly, backing away from Joe and Fiona.

"Hello beautiful!  Are you coming over tonight?  Your father just called to confirm."

Cordelia had made up a lie and was secretly going over to see her father.
Now seeing Fiona so heartbroken, she felt terrible.

"Cordelia?  Darling, are you there?
  Are you coming over?"

Cordelia snapped out of her trance, and said, "Um.. No.  I'm so sorry!  Something just came up and.. I can't make it.."

"Oh no.. Well maybe another time.."

"Yeah, maybe..
  I have to go now Auntie Myrtle."

"Alright.  Bye, chicken."

"Bye.."

Cordelia walked to Fiona and placed her hand on her back.  She knew her mother needed her.

Fiona turned to her daughter and pulled her into a tight embrace.

"I'm so sorry, mom.." Cordelia said gently rubbing her mother's back.

"Thank you, baby."

Cordelia closed her eyes and enjoyed the feeling of love pouring out of Fiona's body, and into hers.  Yes her baby brother is no longer on his way, but this has brought she and Fiona so much closer.  She owed so much to her little brother.
